A very Happy Birthday Mark Blevins from your aunt Mary, Uncle Frankie, cousins Gareth, Ryan, Tara and Kiera in Brisbane Australia. Wish you would come out for a holiday, we miss you and love you very much.

My mother and her brothers lived at 10 Barrack Hill Laurencetown. My mother's name was Rose McCaffrey and I am number 4 in a family of six. My mother was Catholic and my dad was Protestant. We went to Waringstown Primary School and because of our mixed religious background we were given larry dooly. It was a tough time for us. But as children we all have very fond memories of our aunties and uncles who lived in Laurencetown. They were very good to the Cairns children. Especially Uncle Tony and Aunty Betty and Aunt Mary Anne. I love visiting this site as it takes me back home to a place I often feel very homesick for. Love your web site. xxxoo Kay Cairns

Hi Catherine just want to say thank you for all the lovely photographs you took of Ruairi and Maria's wedding day. You did us all proud and keep up the good work. It was a great celebration.

Congratulations on an excellent tool very well used for communicating Christ and a vibrant christian community!

Laurencetown was the home of my mother Rose McCaffrey. Her faher was Thomas McCaffrey and they lived at 10 Barrack Hill. I love looking at the photos as it brings back such memories. I was a very young child back then but I still remember. This is a most wonderful site. I wonder what happened to Barrack Hill and the old houses there?

Congratulations to Dan Lennon on carrying Olympic flame. Nobody is more worthy to carry that flame than him. I remember the day he won the all Ireland marathon. To come out of school and be told that someone from your town had won the all Ireland marathon was great news. Banbridge rejoiced. Once again Dan you done us proud.

thanks for all the news so much happening in laurencetown at the mimite

thanks for the memories.

Thanks ever so much for the pictures on " Memories." I think my Dad ( Hugh Patrick Finnegan) is in one of them! He's photographed with another man in old soccer gear! Note the knee-high soccer boots! Could you find out the owner of this photo and e-mail it to me. Love all the snaps from Gilford, Catherine, and it sure resurrects old sweet memories!!! Thanks again, Paddy F.

Just as a point of interest - Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel With Simeon and Levi the next in line Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine Jacob, Jacob and sons, Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one Jacob, Jacob and sons, Joseph - Jacob's favourite son 11 I think you'll find - NOT 10!!!! Not that the 1 point would have made much difference!!!

The children from Gilford Primary School sang at Mrs Derby's mass this morning. It was a beautiful mass and the children's voices made it a very special occasion to remember. Congratulations to a wonderful choir and a happy retirement to Mrs Derby.

Hi Catherine, I have just read the interview with Jim Byrne - fantastic!! I just love to hear Jim singing and he is such a lovely person but I had no idea he has lead such an interesting life! It is a great idea to celebrate the achievements and talents of our parishioners and who better than Jim to start with! I will look forward to the next interview but again well done with Jim's and well done Jim. Just a quick thought to finish - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote - "God sent his Singers upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again." Do you think he was describing Jim???

Great web site well done Tullylish
